This film made me smile a lot and was so touching that I couldn’t help but shed a few happy tears. I know you will love it because you are awesome! And when I say awesome I mean it with a Rhino style emphasis… click here for the full effect of that statement.

Thanks to Operation Nice for the heads up on this one.

An Awesome Book

Morgs — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:48:21 +0000

Our friends at map magazine first alerted us to this book as one of them there, in particular Carl Lindgren is very big on reminding us all to dream. I have lots of fun readying this with my son Oscar and every night as he is going to bed we all ask each other what we are going to dream about. We will continue to teach him to dream as he gets older and remind him that he can do anything if he ever forgets (he is pretty sure that he can already do anything that he wants).

So check out the Awesome Book. Buy it for you kids, as a gift or just for yourself. Find whatever excuse you need, cause for every book that you buy one gets given to a child for free. Get more details at the Awesome World Foundation. The video is well worth watching.

It’s that time of year again where you find a good car parking space, put down some tarps, roll out your turf and invite people to PARK. Urban Grind’s park will be in Harcourt St this year from 7am till 11am. For me PARK(ing) Day is about many things but mostly about starting conversations because that tends to lead to those other things anyway. What? Anyway…

It all started here… www.parkingday.org
Find all of the Brisbane PARKS here… www.brisbaneparkingday.com

That time of year is this Friday the 18th of September 2009. Thanks Simon.

Painters, street artists and muralists – fancy yourself the Australian Banksy? Brisbane artists are invited to submit expressions of interest to participate in a temporary public art project at the iconic Gasworks site. Up to 20 artists will be selected to produce site-responsive works on the hoardings, along the high-profile Newstead street front. Street-smart painterly interventions, depictions of the historical Gasometer structure and surrounds, or your brilliant vision of the future of this vibrant community will earn you the chance to make your mark.

An artist fee of $200+GST will apply for each panel (approx 1.7×2.4m). Artists must be available to complete the work during the month of November. To be considered for this opportunity, please submit up to three indicative images of your work and a brief paragraph describing your relevant experience and concept for the site, to Wendy at em@artworkers.org Please indicate whether you are proposing work for one or more panels. The closing date for expressions of interest is Wednesday 5 November 2008.

Drawing with Coffee For Sophie

Sophie once drew Rach an awesome angel on a white take away bag using coffee. I think we still have it somewhere. The fact that she could do that was one of the things we loved about Sophie.
